Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 14 February 1964, after the draft finalized by the Steel Forgings
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural
and Metals
Division Council.
0.2 This standard
has been prepared
at the request
of the Boiler

for pressure
vessel
shells, pipe flanges, forged fittings and valves for high temperature
service.
0.3 The Sectional
Committee
responsible
for the preparation
of this
standard
kept in view the manufacturing
and trade practices
followed
in the country in this field.
Furthermore,
due consideration
has also
been given to the need for international
co-ofaination
among standards
These considerations
being followed in various countries of the world.

purpose of finishing the heat.
Analyses for incidental
elements will not

amounts;

may be used for this
put-pose.
5. FORGINGS
5.1 The amount of hot-working
shall be such as to ensure complete
soundness and adequate
uniformity
of structure and mechanical
properties.
5.1.1 Forgings
shall be brought
as nearly as practicable
to the
tinished shape and size by hot-working,
and shall, where practicable,
be so worked as to cause metal flow in the direction most favourable for
resisting the service stresses where these are known.
5.1.2 When specified
in the order, the supplier
shall submit
for
the approval of the purchaser,
a sketch showing the shape of the rough
forging before machining,
and the supplier may also be required
to
show by sectioning
and etching a representative
forging that soundness
and a satisfactory grain flow has been obtained.
6. FREEDOM

FROM

DEFECTS

6.1 The forgings shall be sound and free from harmful

segregation,
They shall be finished to the prescribed
cracks and surface flaws.

8. TESTING

8.1 The tests specified under 10 shall be made at the place of manufac-

ture prior to despatch, but in the event of any forging provn .defective
during
subsequent
manufacturing
operations,
such forgi t8 gs may be
rejected, notwithstanding
any previous certificate of satisfactory testing,
provided that the forging has not been improperly treated after delivery.
9. SELECTION

OF

TEST

SAMPLES

9.1 Selection and Number of Test SamplesAll test samples shall be

selected by the purchaser, and when so desired the tests shall be carried
out in his presence.
9.1.1

The test samples

shall not be separately

heat-treated,

9.1.2 Sufficient material

shall be left on each forging to enable
test specimens to be taken from sample pieces cut lengthwise,
unless
otherwise specified and approved, from a portion of the forging having
an average cross-sectional
area except where a number of small forgings
are required and the expense incurred by leaving test material on each one
is excessive.

9.1.3 In the latter case the supplier, by agreement with the purchaser,
shall supply at his own cost additional forgings as follows:

b) In the case of forgings less than one hundred in number, either

one forging from~each cast or one forging from each heat-treatment
batch when the forgings in the batch are of similar analysis.
9.1.4 The purchaser may select for testing, from the total samples made
from each cast, such forgings as he may consider necessary up to the
extent of the quantity specified in 9.1.3.

IS : 2611- 1964

9.1.5 By agreement between the supplier and the purchaser, loose test
pieces of equivalent
ruling section may be submitted
on the same basis
as in 9.1.3.
9.1.6 The test pieces shall be machined from the sample piece or from
selected small forgings without forging down, and the sample shall not be
detached from the forgings until the heat treatment
of the forgings has
been completed,
except that in the case of hollow forgings closed at the
ends, the test samples may be removed before closing and be subsequently
heat-treated
with the corresponding
forgings.

10. PHYSICAL

TESTS

10.1 Tensile Test - Tensile test shall be carried out in accordance with
IS : 1608-1960 Method for Tensile Testing of Steel Products Other Than
Sheet, Strip, Wire and Tube.
10.1.1 The tensile strength

its gauge length and the percentage
elongation is less than that specified,

from the same lot.
section 25.0 mm
10.2 Bend Test - Bend test pieces shall be of rectangular
wide and 20.0 mm thick, or proportionately
smaller in case of smaller
forgings.
The corners may be slightly rounded to a radius not exceeding
1*6 mm by filing, grinding or machining,
but the test pieces shall receive
no other preparation.
10.2.1 Bend test shall be conducted in accordance
with IS : 1599-1960
Method for Bend Test for Steel Products Other Than Sheet, Strip, Wire
and Tube.
The test piece, when cold, shall withstand
without fracture,
being bent through 180 either by pressure or by blows from a hammer
till the internal diameter is not greater than that specified in Table II.
10.3 Izod Impact Test - Izod Impact test shall be carried out in accordance with IS : 1598-1960 Method for Izod Impact Test for Steel.
The
izod impact values shall be as given in Table II.
10.4 Additional Tests - When so required,
additional
tests other than
those specified may be specified by the purchaser at the time of enquiry
and order.

11. RE-TESTS
11.1 Should a test piece first selected by the purchaser (or supplier where
testing and inspection are not carried out by the purchaser)
